This study presents a detailed analysis of thermal comfort and energy consumption in Passivhaus-certified apartment Bolueta Tower, Bilbao, Spain, over period three years (2020–2022). Utilizing comprehensive, long-term monitoring approach, the research investigates effectiveness Passivhaus standard achieving both efficiency occupant temperate climate. Using calibrated data loggers to record indoor temperature, humidity, CO2 levels were used alongside collection utility bills assess comfort, as well IAQ, against several international standards. Significant issues with overheating confirmed, line previous research. During warmer months, temperatures frequently exceeded threshold 25 °C, reaching high 31.3 particularly living room bedroom. resulted discomfort during summer, percentage hours above °C 23.21% 2022. Nighttime often surpassed 24 impacting sleep quality. Conversely, heating was minimal, corroborating building’s colder months. The findings highlight critical gap when applied milder climates, where becomes significant issue. suggests need for an integrated approach sustainable building design, one that balances adaptive strategies mitigate overheating, such improved natural ventilation mass. These insights contribute ongoing discourse on optimizing energy-efficient buildings various climatic conditions.

Development of a Bayesian calibration framework for archetype-based housing stock models of summer indoor temperature

Journal of Building Performance Simulation, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: unknown, P. 1 - 20

Published: Nov. 4, 2024

Archetype-based housing stock models of summer indoor temperature can support the development policies to manage climate change-driven increase in cooling demand and heat-related health impacts. Calibration reduce performance gap such models, however, work on this topic is limited. Motivated by growing importance underexplored research area, paper introduces a framework for Bayesian calibration archetype-based temperature. The includes data-driven procedures classify dwellings into homogeneous groups specify prior probability distributions. To demonstrate its application, an established bottom-up model based EnergyPlus was calibrated using data collected from 193 monitored during 2009 4M survey Leicester, England. Post-calibration, root-mean-square error reduced 2.5°C 0.6°C remaining uncertainties were quantified. application modular may be extended energy use other environmental parameters.
